Hello all.
I am creating my own little mods for mostly personal use for quite some time now.
But if need to go in very much detail, and therefore smaller painting like things, the narrower it gets, the more color deformation i get.
I know that for the diffuse texture, sims 4 studio is asking for the BC3 Linear dxt5 dds, but..
When browsing onto the forums i found out, that some people have gotten an error message that says the following:
“Your texture must be saved as a PNG or uncompressed DDS B8G8R8A8 (Linear, A8R8G8B8) with mip maps.
Now if i do the exact same thing, and select B8G8R8A8 (Linear, A8R8G8B8) in paint.net, the file size increases from 2.7mb to 10.7mb and in paint.net the texture looks like this:
And this is how i want it to look, however. When i want to pase it in the latest version of sims 4 studio, it says the following:
Its in dutch, but its saying that it requires the texture to be saved in BC3 /DXT 5 compression mode.
If i do such following, then the same texture is gonna reduced to said 2.7mb and looks like this:
So, there is a huge huge texture loss in both the violet, pink, red and orange parts of the texture.
So. Is there a way, to make the sims 4 studio recognize said DDS B8G8R8A8 (Linear, A8R8G8B8) with mip maps format, so no texture loss is gain?
Or is it how it is, and there is no way to actually solve this?
Thanks in advance.
